    "Oh people of my land" is a tribute to the land of melancholy, longing and saudade! The singer and the audience are so moved because they share the Portuguese experience "destiny that chains us all".
    "When you hear the groans of a guitar singing," it's like the melody is calling you home and "you could almost see it as a lullaby, but it's really agony".
    "This sadness that I bring with me, I inherited from all of you", is a reference to the melancholy at the heart of the Portuguese people and that is inherited from our ancestors ... the men who lost their lives at sea, the lonely women waiting at the altar , the shattered children, the emigrants ... This music embodies this feeling that all Portuguese can relate to and that is part of our core being.

      It's very, very hard to convey this feeling to foreigner! They can relate to the feelings that the music carries, but can never fully understand it, because they lack this communalitty of being Portuguese! This song, and "Povo que lavas no rio" really express our soul in a way no other songs can do!

      Yeah Nah wow..you troll just keep popping up...I wasn’t wise enough to block you before but certainly will now. Our people is my people whether you like it or not . I made my life abroad because I was born in the US! What great ignorance you have! It isn’t for free genius I pay taxes!! I don’t have a minimum wage job because my parents pushed the importance of education and I am in a PhD program because of it. Any person can get an education here because it is just about free and if you can’t afford it the government helps you. Because my parents were brave enough to leave the dictatorship and try to give their future children a chance you thjnk I don’t deserve to be here! LOL...whatever! I am a dual citizen and Portuguese as much as you and maybe more so! My family has been here for generations and centuries! You have no clue who I am and what my family has been through . I am an activist for the disadvantaged and poor and while you keep the practice of queixar and do nothing, I am the one who is out here trying to protect the rights of our people and help to make a change in the country. So instead of your ridiculous and divisive language, do something to lift up the country and people. You are obviously an angry person and that is very sad but you need to take responsibility for your actions. Your xenophobia even towards your fellow Portuguese is disturbing. You don’t get to decide who I am or my identity. Não tem respeito! Bye bye! You aren’t welcome here !

      @lisbondiaries9212 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah Nah wow...you troll...wasn’t wise enough to block you before but certainly will now. You are an angry person who has xenophobia towards your own people. Why don’t you share what you said in your comment about people in Lisbon being all “escumalha”? Sure the Lisboetas will love to hear that. My parents left during the dictatorship and that is why I was born in the U.S. I am as ethnically Portuguese as you ...my family on both sides has been in Portugal for generations! My family suffered here and were in the most impoverished area of Portugal...they were courageous and had an opportunity to leave the country during the dictatorship. That is why I had a chance at a life. I worked my behind off in minimum wage jobs for years until I received my education. So, unlike you, who just likes to “queixar” and do nothing, I did something. I live in Portugal because it is my country! I have dual citizenship and things aren’t free for me! I pay for what I have! I am in a PhD program here. People are lucky here to have almost free university education. If you can’t afford it, there is government assistance. So, because you didn’t like my previous comment which called out your xenophobic attitude even towards your own people, you want to call me out here? LOL...nice try. I am activist here in Portugal for human rights. I am actually doing something to help people and fight for decent wages, so they can be lifted up out of poverty because I care. What do you do to help our people? Don’t answer, because I already know...nothing.

    I was lucky to have heard Mariza in concert twice, both in California, oddly enough. And the same thing happened, people were moved to tears to something they understood beyond words because that is we all connect, at the heart. Then, one time, I was having a drink at the Clube de Fado in Lisbon and Mariza was having dinner with her family, it was her birthday, I believe. So the musicians asked her if she would sing one song, and she got up and did that, there, for her family, friends, for the rest of us in that wonderful space. It was one of those moments.

    I'm not Portuguese, I'm Spanish. But the languages and the culture of both countries are pretty similar in many ways. The song is so very touching. It's a love song from the fado singer to her people, to her country, to her culture. It talks about how desperately sad you get when you hear a guitar playing these traditional songs, and how sad and yet how beautiful it is. And how sad and how beautiful people really are. I literally cannot hear this song without crying my eyes out. She's a Queen.

    This fate is mine and yours
    Destiny that binds us
    As much as it is denied
    To the strings of a guitar
    Whenever a groan is heard
    From a guitar singing
    You are soon lost
    In the mood to cry
    O people of my land
    Now is that I realized
    This sadness that I bring
    It was from you that I received it
    And it would seem tenderness
    If I let myself pack
    The bitterness was greater
    Less sad my singing
    O people of my land
    Now is that I realized
    This sadness that I bring
    It was from you that I received it

      Do yourself a favor, translate the lyrics, pal.

    I am Portuguese. Just faced this video and for the first time I realized how Fado is such a peculiar thing. Fado reflects the "Portuguese sad-happy, motto", always sad because of something is missing but simultaneously happy as grateful for what we have. So you may imagine how these songs bear a massive emotional charge with it, the performer and public share that, it's not just music but emotional sharing. She was not "being a queen", but of course you need to understand the lyrics to get that she is showing appreciation for everyone and sharing her feelings with them. You may now understand why a longlived performer cried on stage.
    It is not easy to explain what Fado means, but I tried. Cheers!

Being the 4th generation of them, that fate, resignation and melancholy feeling is still very much running in my veins. I also can feel that exchange of emotions between Mariza and the audience.

Fado is very important to our culture...our version of the Blues. You don’t have to understand the words to feel the music. Amália Rodrigues is the original queen of Fado, and there are many wonderful Fado singers. However, Mariza is my favorite. We love her in Portugal. She gives us so much through her music.

But the crowd clearly appreciated her talent and tremendous performance. As you state, she's an emotional, powerful singer who commands the stage.
    By the way, another excellent Portuguese singer that you might find interesting is Teresa Salgueiro. My favorite tune of hers (as part of the ensemble Madredeus) is Haja O Que Houver. She is a completely different type of performer from Mariza but also really wonderful, in my opinion. It would be interesting to learn your take.

      @@antoniomargallo5317 No, she's not. She is Portuguese, but was born in Mozambique to a Portuguese father and mozambican mother (who was at a given moment also Portuguese). She doesn't hold dual nationality. She probably feels a great deal as being African, but that doesn't remove the fact that she is Portuguese.

    She is singing "Fado" - a Portuguese music style/rhythm. Fado comes from Latin and means "Destine"; some other meanings are Fate and Faith. It tells about the profound sentiments of the Portuguese Soul (past, sufferings, love, passions, tragedies, accomplishments etc.), and should be listened with the soul that knows how to hear. and that explain what you called the "restrained power".

  • @gregdyer1380
    @gregdyer1380 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I like your comment about restrained power and intensity and later your comment on the contrasting subtlety... This dynamic scope, this enhanced drama is absolutely the essence of Fado. This song has huge significance to the Portuguese audience, almost an anthem (which is why she is so overcome by the audience reaction) - the way this song in particular - and this performance of it - draws together singer, musicians, and audience together in a singular experience and the intensity of emotion is something I think we as outsiders is like we're looking in on it, rather than in it with them. NB that 'last instrument' is a 'Guitarra Portuguese'

    Imagine all your feelings of a lifetime coming together with all their strength in one single moment! If you can imagine that, then it's Fado! They sing with feelings. Even if you translate, you won't get the real feelings. If you continue to hear all kinds of Fado, even without understanding the lyrics, you will cry!

    Needles to say that every Portuguese person actually cries each time they hear this song, and especially this specific version.
    You are absolutely right by saying there is a lot of love happening and shared... , in fact, a lot of hapiness is going on as well, but in a weard "we are happy to be sad, *toghether*" way... that is, we are fated (fado) to be sad and melancholic, but happy not to feel this alone, and, I would even say that from that "togetherness in fated melancholy" comes this love we feel and share with each other.
    Apart from that rational interpretation that may present it all into a sort of masochist love, it is still very poetic and much valuable to be sure to have a community and support when you are sad.

    Portugal is bounded from this melancholy feeling of Saudade (which has no translation, but kinda missingness feel through melancholy states of mind and soul), and everyone feels the destiny of a nation in this kinda feelings
    I'm not a huge fan of Fado, but it is important to us, and when u get a voice that good with a message so ours you get a nation cryin', bounded, united through a song. We are brothers in those moments. We are sad. We are proud of being portuguese. All in these songs. We are Porugal.

      She is addressing the people. The song is called "Oh gente da minha terra" (Oh people from my land), and it's Fado music so it's very sad and emotional, she has to make people feel what she is singing. Chorus: Oh people from my land, I just now understood that this sadness that I bring with me was from you given to me". And that's portuguese guitar. :) ps.: "ao vivo em lisboa" means "live in lisbon", good guess. :p

    After Amália Rodrigues,Mariza voted a while ago by BBC Radio has the voice of the century,she is a force in the Portuguese fado ,a style of music that you need to hear more singers to understand that this kind of music it's not sang like rock ,pop or any other genre ,it has their only style ,this kind of performers do it by dragging their voices through a whirlwind of emotions and feelings ,each one have their one way of describe their paintings whilst singing ,because in Fado you are describing a picture a painting of all kinds of emotions ,Mariza is one of the best Fado singers of all time in my opinion ,so thank you for this video ,is good to see someone looking at other artist from other country's and not just the American ones or well known ones

    The title of the track translates to something like "Oh, people from my homeland". And yes, 3 guitars. The two "regular" guitars, and the 3rd one, which is actually the lead guitar in Fado, is called a Portuguese Guitar. 12 strings.

    It's remarkable the fact someone who doesn't understand the language realizes that "she's addressing her people; she's like a Queen", as that is what the song title suggests: "Oh people of my land". Music and performance is truly a universal language.

    As a portuguese, you start listening, the shivers start, tears try to come up, you wipe them, everything is calm and controlled, and then, "oh geenteee da minha terraaaa" and you lose your shit, tears pouring like rain, indeed, only now i understand, this sadness that i carry, it was given from you, for non portuguese speakers, fado is indeed just a feeling but, not any feeling it is "saudade", theres no words to describe other than, that feeling when youre so happy that you cry, but mixed with sadness and other emotions, its.....simply beautiful, just like mariza said in the song, " its mine and yours this fado, fate that ties us, for as much as you deny it", so yeah mate, she is a queen and she is addressing the audience, glad you liked it, great vid

    Thank you man! Thank you for understanding (and clearly feeling!) the emotion behind these words, even though you don't speak the language. Thank you for respecting the song enough to pause it when you wanted to speak. (There is a tradition in Portuguese, before a singer starts a fado that goes something like "silence, one will now sing Fado!")
    Fado is a very typical, sad, style of music in Portugal and this is a beautiful representation of it! Mariza is amazing in all her songs, but this one has a particular meaning. She sings "people of my land" to a portuguese audience, in the capital city of her land! ;) It's hard to be more emotional than this!
